The issue of separation with our wide receivers

Just saying.

Subsequently, it is...

A quick-hit offense is what Dalton is given without WRs that can separate quickly.  Thus, the last ranked offense in the league.  This also plagues the running game.  Do you think Mixon sucks?  The only team he really tore up was the Browns (at least Gio did the Lions) but that problem has to do a lot with the opponents being able to have safeties in the rush defense and pass rush (occasionally) instead of being forced to cover back deep.  

Dalton has to hold the ball if his targets aren't breaking open.  12 INTs (half of which he can thank WRs for tipping balls to defenders) this year and just 7 last year shows you that Dalton doesn't want to force a bad pass, although he is being asked to do that more and more with this horrible WR corps.

You will likely call me a Dalton apologist, or something like that, but I think a new coach will use our weapons based on skills and not grudges and you will see Dalton soar again...just in time for his next contract.
